Billy D. is not only losing players currently on scholarship but now he is losing verbal commitments I know that Painter was on Ohio State's list earlier and they are lacking for a lanky 4 so I wonder if Thad would go back after him.

I would love for us to find a way to get back in the game here, but that would mean we would have to make sure the APR is only going to take 1 ship from us and not 2 since this is the 09 class...

Then we would have to have Buford leave after his sophomore year to be able to land a pg in the 10' class...

YUP, same with Tyus and w/o the APR the same with Payne and Ferguson. I'd love a tall thin big to compliment our WIDE Cs. But a few planets must allign and I don't know if they will!
